BALING APrAnATUs.

The invention may be defined as-consisting of Yan fopen-ended box form in which the leaves are packed for baling, preferably tapering from bottom to top, with the enlarged end at the bottom, and a handbarrow forming the bottom of the form. In the form, preparatory to filling in the leaves, is placed one or more iiexible ties, and also corner bars, the latter resting on top of the ties.

' The form is then lled and Well trodden down, and the ends of the ties drawn taut and joined after cornerbars are seated on the top. v

Reference is to be had to the accompanyling drawings forming a part of this speciiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved, baling a pliance, showing the same partly in vertica longitudinal section; Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the baling apparatus substantially on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a' cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. l, showing the form filled and the ends of the tie joined; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the completed bale.

The invention more specifically described embodies in its construction a box form 5, which is of ta ering form from bottom to to both longitu inally and transversely, wit the enlar ed end arranged at the bottom and seating w en the form is in use, on a handbarrow 6, which, as is the usual practice, is provided with the conventional handles 7 at each end. Connected to the side walls of the handbarrow near the transverse center are .eyes 8, in which are da ted to engage the ojfset ends of hooks the latter bein designed to en age over the top edge o the form and hold it against vertical displace- Vment daring the period the form is being illed and packed. The form is held from Specication of Letters Patent.

lateral displacement on the handbarrow by the side `timbers of the latter and by crossbars 10 arrangednear each'end, The top edges of the box form at opposite sides are slotted, as indicated at 12, for receiving a number of flexible ties 11, generally three in number and of twine or similar material. In the form these ties are placed to lie contiguous to the inner wall thereof, as shown in Fi 3, with one end of the tie provided with a oop, and the ends turned outwardly through the slots 12. On top' of the ties in the bottom corners of the form are placed corner-bars 13, preparatory to filling the form with leaves. After the form has been lled, the leaves are trodden down to make them as compact as possible, and cornerbars 13a placed at. the to The ties are then drawn taut and joine by assin one end of the tie through the otherlloope end and tyin Fig. 3.

latter is prevented from rising u on the handbarrow by the hooks 9, these ooks being disconnected when the bale has been tied,

by withdrawing their offset lower ends from The form is then vertically Y the screw-eyes. raised from the handbarrow, leaving the iinished bale seated thereon. The bale-'man carries the completed bale to the point where it is to be acked or stowed, where the bale is unloade by turning the barrow up side down and seating the bale with the lar e end up, leavin Y.the bale in the best possib e position for rainin olf rain water.

Having thus Patent:

1. In a baling a paratus, the combination of a form, a han -barrow forming the bottom of the form, said form open at the upper end `to receive the material to be baled and open at the lower end to leave the finished bale seated on the hand-barrow when thev @form and lock the bottomthereto.

3. In a balin 'a paratus, the combination edJ form for receiving and shaping the material to be baled, ta ering from bottom to top,- with the enlarge porthem together, as illustrated uring the packing of the form, the

escribed my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters tion thereof at the bottom, and a bottom for the form having means for detachably applyin it;

In a baling apparatus, an open-ended 5l form for receiving and shaping the material to be baled, a handbarrow forming the bottom of said form, eyes attached to the opposite sides of the barrow, and hooks ada ted toe age over the top edge of the form, av- 10 ing o set portions to engage with Said eyes. 5. In a baljng apparatus, an open-ended form'for receiving and shaping the material v to be baled, havingslots in the to ed e thereof at opposite side for receivin t een s of the bale tles during the period t e form is 15 being lled. v

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. y i PHILIP PILON Witnesse:
